Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?


It Maybe a little strange to ask this question here since clearly this is a forum for folks still loving and using Vinyl.
So I am looking for some feedback from folks that play very little of their LPs these days and have decided to sell all of it (or already have). I have thought about it for years seems like a hassle trying to sell your TT and or your record collection, that is mainly why mine stays put (not because I use it).

Anyway if you have sold - (Not if you’re keeping it forever)

Have you regretted it?
Or is to nice to reduce the clutter and happily move on?

Some people would never sell their analog rig and collection, I get that.

I have four turntables in operation and seven more awaiting restoration.  Also a collection of cartridges tonearms and parts.  This all to play my 10,000+ vinyl collection that I have built over the past 55 years.  My rock, jazz, pop, classical, blue grass, country etc. LPs are all in VG to near mint condition as I used to play them once in order to record them on my reel to reel or cassette tape recorders. Cassettes were much easier to play in the car or cassette player.  the TTs that I'm currently using are a totally updated Linn LP12, restored Thorens TD124 and 124 Mk2 and a Garrard 401.  All are in high end systems with dedicated phono preamps.  So whats not to like?  Well I hardly play my records anymore since I've transferred so much to my PC.  Call it laziness, but it seems that I just want to play my music without getting out of my chair anymore.
What to do with all that vinyl, turntables and other gear?  I don't know, as the thought of what it would take time and energy wise to sell it makes my brain go numb.
